Against Materialism
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: Against Materialism
Author: Soter
These words are meant to shine light on the growing trend towards materialism which has infested Sosarian culture. These are the words of the mother Goddess as written down by her devoted follower.
To the Parents: Parents, be an example of purity and goodness and disciplinarians in your homes. Your children enter outside your doors into a world of ravenous wolves ready to devour their spirit and crush them, until they cannot rise above the darkness without your help and guidance. You cannot, at this time, turn them over to others to teach the way; you must do this now yourselves! Take yourselves away from your daily pursuits, your seekings of worldly gain and materialism, pleasures of the flesh! For what? You cast aside the true way, and you go farther into the darkness and meet daemons and their consorts.
To the Children My children, understand Us: We do not come with messages to upset you or to make you afeared of Us. That is not necessary. All you have to do is think, and use your hearts, not just your head; I say not just your head, for the scientist and those who are in charge of the souls of your children are implanting in these souls dark seeds of hate, and envy, and the need for materialism. O My children, I could repeat over and over again the sins that make it a world of destruction for those who are trying to stay on the narrow road to Bliss, while all obstacles are placed in his way.
To the Leaders Leaders, you must pray now and do much penance.
A great War is approaching humanity, a war in which nations shall vanish from Sosaria. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Woe to the inhabitants of Malas who have neither counselled the young nor sought to change the course of destruction that they have allowed to progress on. Because of their love of materialism and their love of what they claim to be virtue, and their love of worldly gain in power, man has now been abandoned by the forces of light to seek his own way now, a way that he has chosen to be covered with errors and spiritual darkness.
To Sanctus in Particular: Our hearts are greatly saddened by the evils and abominations being committed in the houses of the Mother throughout the world. Man has given himself to all pleasures of the flesh. Luxury in your country, My children, has been your downfall, for you have forgotten your God and you have starved your soul.
